HMS Dauntless arriving at Port of Tyne 30.04.2010

HMS Dauntless arriving at Port of Tyne, 30th April 2010. Filmed from pilot cutter Collingwood. Tyne Pilot, Steven Clapperton, is seen boarding the ship. Dauntless then proceeds inwards to swing at Jarrow Slake (not seen) and in the final shot you see her berthed alongside Northumbrian Quay. This Type 45 destroyer is the 2nd of her class. This Daring class warship will eventually be one of six currently planned.

Hi Alan

Great vid - not a bad platform for shooting video, better than your own private yacht ;-)

Bet all of the Pilots were trying to bring her in!

Regards

Steve

@Tyneships Thanks Steve. Not everyone gets as excited about ships as we do you know! I did manage to take this one out though. Also took Fort Victoria out the other day. :)) Very enjoyable.

You'll never have guessed it, but the Captain off the QE2 was onboard Dauntless. He pops up everywhere......

@jorodmon Thank you Jose. I'm trying my best. Hopefully getting better. Your comments are appreciated.

fuck!!

@hod05 Much bigger!!!

Type 42= 4000 tonnes.

Type 45= 8500 tonnes.

In comparison with the Type 45 the Type 42 looks like a Frigate. In fact the Type 26 Frigate (in service around 2020) is going to be bigger than the Type 42.

Type 26= 6000 tonnes.

These are amazing ships, Enjoy working on them. I have worked on all 6 ships, the last being the HMS duncan installing all the electronics

[hod05]

how big are these ships? are they bigger than a type 42?

@adelaide102 The "proper weapons" are already fitted. Torpedoes, Point-defence, Anti-air, Anti-surface, anti-ballistic. If it gets anti-ship it would be more of a stealth cruiser rather than a destroyer.

BEST ANTI AIR SHIP IN THE WORLD. FACT. BEATS ALL US ALTERNATIVES. :) so proud to be british

My mothers friend's son works on it, and he says that, when on manoeuvres, the Americans have to ask them to turn off their long range radar to give em a chance, its that far ahead in respect to radar. :)

That is one awesome looking ship, quite sci-fi in appearence.

[adelaide102]

Overpriced ships, too large,no need for them, cannot afford proper weapons for them and by the time the aircraft carriers are built they will have been sold to Chile by then, another fat waste of money like Nimrod. We need smaller corvette size vessels to deal with pirates and drug runners and terrorists. When will the British Government wake up.
